Why is imagination an irony and a need for MBA graduates ? My MBA school Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode has arguably the most beautiful campus among all management schools, globally. Nestled among its lush green pathways are thought provoking boards that inspire reflection. One in particular has always intrigued me. “Imagination is more important than knowledge” - Albert Einstein The irony ? 🤷♂️ the weightage of ‘#imagination’ in MBA curricula is virtually NIL. Instead, they are laser focused on knowledge and information. 👉 how much knowledge you posses 👉 how fast can you acquire it 👉 how detailed can you analyse it 👉 how well you can present it. (Last point translates to a formula1 #F1 of powerpoint slides) With the trained skills from the campus- one can become a top manager - advise a top tier board- can win a startup pitch ! But, It may take a long time to become an #entrepreneur from a #MBA Graduate. The only variable missing was imagination. As an entrepreneur, I started to fit imagination into this mix. It’s my no.1️⃣! In today's dynamic markets—from #commodities to #sustainability—those who dare to imagine lead the charge. Its high time we infuse more imagination into MBA programs? 🤝 #LeadershipInsights #InnovationMindset #SustainableBusiness #CommoditiesInnovation
